Openness is a challenging property that may characterize multi-agent systems (MAS). It refers to their ability to deal with entities leaving and joining agent society over time. This property makes the MAS behaviour complex and difficult to study and analyze, hence the need for a representative model allowing its understanding. In this context, many models were defined in the literature and we propose to classify them into three categories: structural models, functional models and interactional models. The existing models were proposed either for representing structural openness or for modelling functional or interactional ones independently. But, none of them was oriented to represent MAS openness in a global way while considering its three aspects at once. Besides, each one was defined in order to realize a specific objective and in a particular domain of application. In this paper, we propose an evolving KAGR graph. The latter provides a common understanding of openness and unifies its structural, functional and interactional aspects in a generic way. Our model is finally tested and validated on a multi-agent rescue simulator.

在多智能体系统中表示开放性的通用模型

开放性是一个具有挑战性的属性，它可能是多智能体系统 (MAS) 的特征。它指的是他们处理随着时间的推移离开和加入代理社会的实体的能力。此属性使 MAS 行为复杂且难以研究和分析，因此需要一个具有代表性的模型来对其进行理解。在这种情况下，文献中定义了许多模型，我们建议将它们分为三类：结构模型、功能模型和交互模型。现有模型的提出要么用于表示结构开放性，要么用于独立建模功能或交互模型。但是，它们都不是以全球方式代表 MAS 的开放性，同时考虑其三个方面。除了，每一个都是为了实现特定目标和特定应用领域而定义的。在本文中，我们提出了一个不断发展的 KAGR 图。后者提供了对开放性的共同理解，并以通用的方式统一了其结构、功能和交互方面。我们的模型最终在多智能体救援模拟器上进行了测试和验证。
